[users@httpd] Is there a shell environment variable to direct httpd to a httpd.conf ?
Hi,
I'm in a unique configuration dilemma where I need to place the location of
httpd.conf in a "soft" location. eg the shell environment variable.
I did look and cannot find the answer.
The question: "is there a shell environment variable read by httpd pointing
to the conf file ? "
This is windows,, I have another solution for linux and solaris.
thx

Ahh.. ok the interpolation and the service settings will work. I can place
the env var in the registry in M$ DS.
Perfect guys, thank you so much..

Thanks Chris,
I'm doing that in linux now.. I wanted to just call httpd.exe in windows;
not to add another 'custom variable' in a locked down system.. If I add
something already in httpd.exe, I won't have to recertify.

Note also that any -f, -d, -D args you pass to httpd install on Windows
sets up the service with those values.
If interpolation is on for the startup arg in the nt registry, then you
should be able to honor envvar substitution, but note that envvar
substition for services is based on the envvars at *boot time*. Changing
them globally or per-user and restarting the service will not affect the
services environment until you reboot.

Can you do:
C:\> \path\to\bin\httpd -f %HTTPD_DOT_CONF%
?
